Opposition demands vigorous action; self-sufficient farms and honest business preserve both devotion and credibility.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...that the government is actually... It is not the government, but there are various individuals within the government. In other words, it is not the entire government. Just like in this country it is a much more of a dictatorial type government.
In America what is happening is that because these deprogrammers... What they are doing is called lobbying. They go to Congress, they go to the House of Representatives. They have all of their members write letters to their local state senators, to the local House of Representatives... Prabhupāda: Hmm.
They influence. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. And then they get these local men to come together in groups and try to pass laws. So it's not simply that the... But there is more and more now a feeling amongst the government members towards..., favorable to the deprogrammers and against the cults on account of the cheating nature of the other cults.
So there's definitely... Prabhupāda: They should be. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. It's definitely... The sentiment is definitely against us and for the deprogrammers amongst government leaders. It's not in our favor.
There's no doubt about it. The courts are definitely against us, and the government is also. It's serious.
Prabhupāda: So what can we do? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I think we have to do exactly what we are doing. Prabhupāda: That is... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: More vigorously. Prabhupāda: [laughs] That's it. And the Hyderabad report, that English education, they are inclined. There are so many here. That's not very good idea.
As soon as they get English education... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They'll leave. So we should not encourage that at all. I think it's different than here. Prabhupāda: No, their attention should be in chanting. And produce their own food, agriculture.
